"Lumari runs sourcing, RFQs, and purchase orders end-to-end — so procurement teams stop chasing suppliers by email."
TL;DR: Lumari is AI-powered procurement automation for direct materials and supply chain. It deploys always-on AI agents that manage RFQs, extract supplier quotes, follow up on outstanding orders, and track purchase orders — without a buyer touching a spreadsheet or email chain.

The Problem ❌
Sourcing a new part means copying a BOM into a dozen supplier emails and manually tracking who responded, who didn't, and what they quoted.
Quote responses come back in every format imaginable — PDFs, email bodies, spreadsheets — and someone has to normalize them by hand before any comparison can happen.
Buyers spend 40–60% of their time chasing supplier acknowledgments and delivery updates instead of doing strategic sourcing work.
Non-responses from suppliers fall through the cracks — there's no system following up automatically when a vendor goes quiet.
ERP updates happen manually after every supplier email, creating delays, errors, and zero visibility into what's actually in motion.
Lumari’s Solution ✨
Lumari deploys AI agents that run direct procurement workflows end-to-end. No new portal for suppliers to adopt. No ERP replacement. It plugs into how your team already works.
RFQ automation: Takes a BOM or line item list, identifies the right suppliers, sends RFQs, chases non-responders, and produces a structured quote comparison — without a buyer touching email.
Quote extraction: Pulls pricing, lead times, and MOQs from supplier PDFs and emails in any format, then maps them into a clean side-by-side matrix ready for decision-making.
Supplier follow-up: Sends context-aware follow-ups on behalf of the buyer through email. Suppliers respond as they always do — no portal, no onboarding, no behavior change required.
PO tracking: Monitors order acknowledgments, promised ship dates, and delivery confirmations. Surfaces risk signals early so teams can act before a late order becomes a line stoppage.
Supplier inbox management: Reads incoming supplier emails, extracts the relevant data, updates the ERP or system of record, and flags anything that needs a human decision.
Enterprise manufacturers and fast-growing hardware scaleups use Lumari to handle the procurement execution work that used to live in email threads and spreadsheets.
